Rabies Booster Dose Query After Minor

2026-05-20 10:17:35
I completed a full course of anti-rabies vaccination on 27 November 2023. Subsequently, on medical advice, I received a booster dose (Day 0) on 9 December 2024 following an exposure from my own dog. Today, while playing with my dog, it scratched me and also attempted to bite me. Later during bathing, I experienced a mild burning sensation on my leg at the site, but there is no visible bleeding, no obvious open wound, and the skin appears mostly intact. My dog is healthy, fully vaccinated, and receives regular annual anti-rabies vaccinations. Additionally, yesterday my dog vomited once slightly, but today it is behaving normally, eating well, and appears healthy. Given my vaccination history and the nature of this recent exposure, I would like guidance on whether I need another booster dose or any additional post-exposure prophylaxis measures. Thank you.
